OMG we've got our first guest — Bailey Lang of The Writing Desk!

Bailey is a late-diagnosed neurodivergent writer, editor, and coach. Through her company, The Writing Desk, she helps businesses and authors tell stories that matter. Bailey has been an avid reader for as long as she can remember, and her favorite thing to do is talk about books and writing.

Bailey reached out to me at the end of last year, asking if we could do an episode together. She proposed that she could share a list of fiction reads with great neurodivergent representation… and I said YES PLEASE!

So in this episode, we’ll hear from Bailey as she shares a few of her fave books with implicit and explicit representation of autistic or neurodivergent characters. We love to see/hear it!

😎 Bailey’s Book Recs:

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang

Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale

All Systems Red by Martha Wells
